levertovfanI watched the series finale of Six Feet Under last night. The series finale, and the fifth season in general, were pretty grueling but also really thought-provoking. Good show about death.
Go to Wikipedia and look up your birth day (excluding the year). List three neat facts, three births and three deaths in your journal, including the year...
Events:
1788 - Maryland becomes the 7th state to ratify the Constitution of the United States
1952 - Occupied Japan: The United States occupation of Japan ends.
1977 - The Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure is signed.
Births:
1926 - Harper Lee, American author of To Kill a Mockingbird
1937 - Saddam Hussein, former leader of Iraq
1948 - Terry Pratchett, English author
Deaths:
1945 - Benito Mussolini and his mistress Clara Petacci are torn apart in a town square by an angry mob.
2000 - Penelope Fitzgerald, English writer
So, yeah, in other news, I have a plan for moving: "moving day" is the 20th through the 24th because I'm using this moving system where I load all my stuff into this giant box that will be in my possession during those days. I'll leave for Minnesota the 25th, and find housing before my father comes to visit me the first weekend of May to help my buy a car. In the interim, I have a lot to do: applying to jobs, finishing taxes, making certain I see everyone here individually before I go, planning my birthday party (the 21st) and organizing people to help me move, packing....... stuff. Stuff is hard.
